That Aerial has gotta go

[Louie Coppellotti]

Never been a fan of mast type aerials and much prefer the shark type colour coded units as they suit the modern day car

Just ordered one of these babies in OE Magnetic colour

Let me know how it goes.. and whether it affects/improves radio reception.

Louie, what colour code did you use for Magnetic, I’m trying to order one of these…. my VIN plate code doesn’t match what they holds as Magnetic.

Anyone ordered one for a Nitrous Blue? Just wandered what colour code you used?

[Pat Godfrey]

If anyone would like to order me one in gloss black I’ll pay you an additional £20

it will be cheaper than me smashing my iPad in annoyance trying to send them a failed payment for a 5th time with bloody PayPal sending me back and to ???

[Louie Coppellotti]

Richard you don’t have to specify a code as they have these and match accordingly

So, do I choose unpainted from the drop down and a note to the order stating I want it Nitrous Blue?

[9designs]

They wanted paint code from me, Magnetic, which on my VIN plate doesn’t match what everyone lists…. so I just picked magnetic from the drop down…. mines waiting in parcelforce depot needing the vat and fees to be paid when I collect it.

Last I heard they couldn’t get NB paint or something I will check with them again

[G4DDS]

Much appreciated Kenny.

Are there any UK suppliers that do the same/similar that are recommended?

9designs – been caught out myself on VAT and fees when purchasing a replacement motherboard from the US but in my case they delivered the parcel and then invoiced me a couple of weeks later which I nearly threw away as initially I did not realise what it was.

Incidentally, on my facebook it keeps giving me a discount code “RTGAP99” to be used at checkout for a discount.

Reply from Visual Garage regarding Nitrous Blue aerials:

We haven’t been able to source the paint from any suppliers still, but we were able to get a Nitrous Blue RS in last week, and our paint shop is working to mix up a batch themselves. When the mix looks good, we’ll test it out and if the results are a perfect match, we’ll release it shortly after.

Thanks for your patience!

Hopefully get an update soon

Hi all

Found these on eBay in various colours including NB, just under £40 delivered. They have 1 left in NB, if you message them I’m sure they will do more….

Might email them and see if they will do a carbon fibre look one.
